- UK roux streak lives on
- My hands were so cold for 2x2
- In 4x4 I solved up to PLL and recognzied the J perm, solved it and stopped the timer. Due to lighting I didn't notice I had PLL parity. :fp
- I was 0.66 seconds off the cutoff :fp
- shengshou mini's are awesome
- Kong's suitcase is awesome, even though he had nothing I wanted to buy (probably my fault as I was too slow and most of the good stuff was gone).
- My Z sticker got destroyed by H-perms
- Dominoes large pizza is pretty cheap at lunch times, though running back with it from about a kilometre away means it turns from really hot and nice to warm and horrible instead of cold and nice.
- I was extremely nervous for 3x3 round 1, started off really nicely though and got 2 sub 15's before it all went to pot on the final three solves.
- My average in round 1 was 0.01 second faster than my average in round 2
- Runners literally ran?
- CHJ knows a lot of y-perms
- I somehow topped my group in 3BLD only to finish 8th overall
- Moyu has taken over
- I failed really bad at 5x5
- Rowena's rubik's is crazy good
- The delegate should wear gold?
- Agassi just keeps scrambling...
- Cup tower's are bad.
- Thom's trophy watched over everyone packing away...

I got a pretty decent 4x4 avg?
I wish i could have made sunday?
Magnus beat me on sq-1 with a counting 43?
I am officially the non-luke uk pyra single champion 2013?
Breandan put a bit more maru on his cubes than he intended?
Some chips are too greasy, but at the same time not greasy enough?
Quaternions have real life applications?
The fire alarm went off?
During 4bld?
On a really good scramble?
Coggers still refuses to accept his puzzles are terrible?
Joey has a child's insulin pen?
I want to go to more uk comps?
I'll see you all soon?
Really good comp and really well run considering the number of people
Big thanks to dan, chris, billy and laurence!

My first competition. Fantastic experience. Thanks to everyone who organised it. And thanks to everyone who attended for being such a great bunch of people. The most amazingly friendly, open, welcoming atmosphere.

I initially only registered for 4BLD, then I ended up doing 3BLD on Sunday as well.
I arrived at venue on 4pm during Saturday.
Commuting is very tiring if you're far away.
I learn that you shouldn't commute on train to a competition because no early train on Sundays.
Agassi talks very loud.
But he is a fun guy.
He owe me money.
He replaces his 5x5 stickers with 6x6 set.
My first comp in the last 6 months.
Leicester for 3rd time, all comp related.
I don't need to browse the map for direction anymore.
Most asked question: Oh you're here! thought you weren't coming today.
Sitting judge is amazing concept.
first time playing with gen 3 timers.
Kids from last year grew up.
My 4bld didn't improve at all.
I will deffo go to next comp (Edinburgh hopefully)
I won't stop my 4bld attempt if the fire alarm go off the second time.
3x3 final was funny with the entrance songs.
I did 400 solves of 4x4 from Tuesday to Friday and not joined that event.
I need to get involve to organise a comp soon.

to avoid leaving his wallet in Leicester Tim left his wallet at home this time?
Friday rush hour is a terrible time to use the M25 and M1?
the journey back was about 1/2 as long?
undertaking and high beams are common place on the M1?
a large group of cubers were waiting for us in our hotel when we eventually arrived?
clubbing? Really?
Rock club? What a relief!
the power hungry, meat headed pair of bouncers wouldn't let Nick in?
there was another entrance 3ft away?
that doorman was a reasonable human being who has a rough idea of chronology?
J-bombs that Stephen Hawking wouldn't have been able to keep track of?
does he even lift?
apparently yes? 180kg!
don't mosh with him?
he punched Sarah?
she might need her arm amputated?
don't let slappers touch your main Billy?
gestation period for a 3x3 is about an hour?
Nick can be bounced up and down and spun around and around on my shoulders?
my back isn't very pleased with that particular alcohol fuel antic?
I felt like a sheep dog on the way back?
2 hrs sleep is plenty?
broke 2x2 single pb in 1st and 2nd solve, also average?
I relied heavily on previous comp failures in order to achieve them?
1.05 DNF in 4x4?
we need to back date our timer choice or upgrade our regulations to allow for 3rd gens?
angry about 1st solve, DP and N perm resulted in a 1.21 and no average for me? =(
a small liquid lunch and good company meant that I got over it before long?
Scott is going to 'change the world'?
global 3x3 averages will drop as a direct result IMO?
when I got back down from my shower the cubers seemed to be having another go at 'occupy my hotel'? Yay!
hotel food takes bear long?
especially when it looks and sounds so good that the orders keep rolling in?
we eventually made it to Riley's?
strawpedoed my 1st drink in there?
it took 3000 times longer to finish my 2nd?
the staff could've been better at turning on table lights?
I could've gotten away without paying a penny and they would've been none the wiser?
luckily I'm honest and the girl who was on holiday understood what was going on?
Daniel didn't lose a single game?
we were on the same doubles team?
seems unfair to me too?
Billy was playing like a Boss?
CHJ's guerrilla lubing?
terribly rude taxi company sends terrible rude taxi driver?
we would've crashed if I hadn't intervened?
sooo many towels?
honestly they didn't stay in our room?
almost 6 hours sleep and no hangover?
Tim actually made it in time for 3x3?
he's officially sub 20 now proving you don't need to put silly things like time and effort in?
I got official pb single?
Sarah's slowest 3x3 solve was faster than mine and her fastest 5x5 was faster as well?
Magnus crushed his at home 5x5 pb officially?
Coggers borrowed my Florian and broke his single and average with it? I'm just glad someone does well with it.
I judged 3BLD for 30 mins and never held up a Kuti card?
Sarah DNFed both solves before donning her blindfold even though she did attempt 1 of the solves?
still massively proud even though I felt like a cuber's girlfriend?
40 hours since I've eaten?
I better eat this sandwich?
I got my unofficial 3x3 pb then 4 solves later beat my previous pb?
I was talking all the way through the former solve and asking for a skip occurs if it was going to anyway?
Scott had never sub 1 ed an OH solve?
I filmed him achieve the feat twice officially?
he only got 2 attempts?
interview? If I have to.
I felt unexplainably horrified afterwards?
had to decline a 2nd?
just about pb average in 2nd round of 3x3?
Scott picked my brain about card dealing?
he isn't allowed in casinos?
if you are going to play with him then don't let him touch?
he puts on an incredible show with fairly bad cards?
Zack stackmatting crisps?
great choices for entry music in finals?
remember the name Ayyub Mangral?
wolves Roux?
very well?
just cos Alex's didn't get to play doesn't mean that Roux didn't dominate?
I almost shed a tear when Sarah was called up on stage to receive booze for ordering and professionally scratching trophies?
Congratulations Thom!
Thank you to everyone who once again made it one of the best weekends of my life.
Special thanks to Daniel, Billy, Laurence, Chris, Chrissy and Sarah for all the hard work you put in.

Another fun comp, thanks to everyone helping, especially those that made themselves easier to find by wearing red t-shirts. DYK:
I managed to not fail BLD?
Except DNFing my fastest 3BLD with an execution mistake? (53.04)
Fire alarms make BLD hard?
I broke my 7x7 single by 26 seconds?
14.46 14.53+ 15.27 13.83 12.67+ in 3x3 round 2 made me really annoyed at my weilong?
I hope someone recorded 3x3 finals since I had to leave early?
All the interviewing/photos felt really weird?
I think it made me look really silly?
Travelodge was a bad idea?
Because no hot water from Saturday and no electricity (including lights) on Sunday?
Nice to see the usual faces again. Might add more here later when I have time.

- It was 6 months since my last competition, and a year since my first?
- Hence I broke all but 2 of my comp PB's?
- Toby visited and it was awesome?
- My brother has an awesome camera?
- I won clock by over 2 seconds?
- I'm now ranked 12th in the world for average, but I'm still 4th in the UK for single?
- Mollerz wasn't there, so the comp had noticeably less swag?
- The only megaminx solve that my brother didn't film was my best?
- Chris probably shouldn't drink coffee?
- Surprise pyra final which had mediocre scrambles and largely tired and apathetic competitors?
- Breandan accidentally a whole bottle of Maru?
- I got table service in McDonalds?
- Factory solves are far more interesting with multiple methods and colour neutral crosses?
- I managed to oversleep on sunday morning and not arrive until half 11?
- I still managed to do everything I wanted that day, so thanks Dan!
- 14 second 3x3 single in a 20.xx average?
- Finally have an official sub-20 average?
- MoYu cubes are getting pretty popular?
- CHJ made the 3x3 final having got no sleep all weekend?
- A metal band delayed proceedings for about 20 minutes?
- I got to be on stage for the final?
- No sub-10 averages in the final?
- The wrong Thomas The Tank Engine theme was played for Breandan's entrance?
- Agassi was in hysterics anyway?
- I think this comp has been my favourite one so far?
- The UK organising team are fantastic?
- Rob had to put all his plaques into a separate bag?
Thanks, guys - see you next time hopefully!
